Welcome to SUSECon 2015, Amsterdam!

SUSECon has always been a special event. It’s a gathering of the some of the brightest, most passionate, like minded techie’s on the planet.

What a privilege it is for Hewlett Packard Enterprise to unveil itself as a brand new company at this prestigious event.

It all began with roughly $550 dollars in capital (1939 value) and a coin toss. The capital investment was to launch the business. The coin toss determined whose last name would come first, Hewlett or Packard. The location was a little town just south of San Francisco we now affectionately call Silicon Valley.

The rest is quite literally a chapter in technology history. It is now history because as of November 1st, 2015 Hewlett-Packard will have formed into two brand new companies. Hewlett Packard Enterprise, and HP Inc. Hewlett Packard Enterprise will lead with muscular servers, storage, networking, cloud, software and services to enterprises. HP Inc. will continue to bring cutting edge innovation in the realm of 3D printing and sleek, high performance end-point devices.

In a word, it’s a Transformation. In June of this year, our CEO Meg Whitman, announced four transformation areas that represent our view of where the market is headed and what our customers and partners will need to succeed in today’s Idea Economy.

One beauty of our relationship, is that the portfolio of solutions we offer to our customers align perfectly to two of HPE’s four transformation areas. And this is precisely what you can expect to see at SUSECon 2015, Amsterdam, Netherlands beginning November 2nd.

Empowering a data driven enterprise centers on helping organizations harness its vast amount of information. It’s no secret, Hadoop has emerged as a very efficient, and cost effective way to manage distributed data. HP, SUSE and Horton works are helping simplify today’s big data challenges by offering a joint reference architecture designed to help our customers rapidly gain valuable insights from their corporate data.

These solutions and many more are why we believe that SUSE Linux Enterprise on HPE world class platforms provide our joint customers with the industry’s broadest choice of integrated, open source and Linux across the enterprise.

We invite and welcome you to make your way to booth #22 and to check out our keynote and technical sessions:
